(En anglais seulement) Article 23 of the CRPD requires state signatories to “take effective and appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against persons with disabilities in all matters relating to marriage, family, parenthood and relationships, on an equal basis with others”. Using the Convention as a backdrop, this seminar will examine issues surrounding disability and family matters. In particular, it will examine how legal and social constructs of parenthood, sexuality and sexual health have a dangerous potential to exclude people with disabilities. We will discuss parenting and adoption for disabled parents and children with disabilities, under-reported violence against women with disabilities, as well as shelter accessibility and State response mechanisms.
L'événement prendra la forme d'un séminaire et les lectures requises seront distribuées à l'avance. Veuillez confirmer votre participation à chrlp.law [at] mcgill.ca avant le 11 mars. Un léger déjeuner sera servi.
